Dear Guest,

According to the Tourism Act, the primary objective of the VIZA is to promote public policy, security and border control. The system will also protect the rights, security and property of the data subject and others.

For Hungarian guests, nationality identity cards, driving licences and passports are accepted as proof of identity. For guests arriving from the EU, identity cards and passports are accepted, and for guests arriving from third countries, only passports are accepted for identification and document scanning.
If a guest refuses to show the required document, this individual must be refused the service.
Please hand over your ID or travel document to our reception colleagues at check-in for the duration of the data entry.
Thank you for your cooperation and patience with our colleagues who are fulfilling our statutory obligation.
